Ya'll keep us in Watauga County in your meaningful thoughts. More flooding than I've seen in 17 years, and now the wind has arrived. Being at 3,333 pretty much guarantees no catastrophic flooding, but I'm worried about mudslides and falling trees. I'm worried about one of 200 trees surrounding my house falling on my house. Thankful for insurance.

Nice pick.

Yeah it was really bad this morning. Appears the worst is past and now the temps will drop and drop. The Boone Mall ice rink will be open by morning.

I work 1/10th of a mile from there.

But this weekend is going to be splendid. October in Boone can’t be beat.
